Matthew 18 has suffered from careless interpretation and application over the years. This chapter is frequently used in local churches as a procedural template to resolve interpersonal offenses and "issues."

It is also commonly applied to the believer's authority in spiritual warfare to "bind and loose" different entities: binding this and that "principality," binding satan, binding the strong man, "binding" people to the will of God (!?) and "loosing" angels, etc.

In The Rescue of Matthew 18: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Altar - Matthew 18 In Proper Cultural Context, Dr. Crosby examines Matthew 18 from a disciplined perspective, paying close attention to context and culture, and provides a perspective that is spiritually fresh and challenging to many widely held assumptions.

If the gifts of healings haven’t intentionally “passed away," why do we not see more bona fide physical healings in our local churches?" Is there a Biblically viable middle ground between “God doesn’t heal any more," and some of the dubious charismatic/televangelist practices? Are there reasons for meager results beyond the naïve, condemning, and stereotypical: “There must be sin in your life," or “you just don’t have enough faith?" Is there a middle ground between a passive hyper-sovereignty view and a naïve hyper-faith view? The answer is: Yes, there is sane middle ground, and this book explores it with unique insight and application.

For generations, 2 Chronicles 7:14 has been used by individuals and ministries as the rationale for beliefs and practices regarding prayer and intercession for revival. It's commonly believed that if enough repentance, self-humbling, and turning from sin is offered, God’s pending judgment will be avoided, He will hear our prayer, "heal our land," and send revival to our communities or our nation, based on His obligation to His "promise" in 2 Chronicles 7:14. This booklet examines this premise for legitimacy from a disciplined, contextual, New Covenant, and post-Pentecost perspective.

The issue of money and the Church has a long and contentious history. At the present time, there is much emphasis regarding a pending transfer of wealth from the unbelieving world into the hands of Christians based on Proverbs 13:22. In conjunction with this belief there is also much being said to day in regard to “marketplace ministers" being integral to the transfer of wealth. In this booklet, Dr. Crosby examines these doctrines as well as other financial issues and prosperity teachings such as the mandatory tithe, seed-faith offerings, sowing and reaping, harvest, etc., from a strong Christ-centered, New Covenant perspective.

There is a new apostolic movement afoot, and it is leading many from the simplicity of the pure gospel. To be legitimate, the teaching emphasis and ministry expression of present-day apostles and prophets must reflect a correct gospel foundation: the person and work of Christ as its focus, spiritual death and resurrection as its method, and the indwelling Spirit as its power.

Instead, the new apostolic reformation movement, with its emphasis on apostolic authority, "spiritual covering," loyalty, honor, submission, and government, has become the vehicle to build the philosophies and kingdoms of men.

Dr. Stephen Crosby's third book, Authority, Accountability, and the Apostolic Movement, probes these and other authority/submission issues from a biblically disciplined, Christ-centered, New Covenant perspective. Within these pages, every believer, church leader, apostle, or prophet who may have wandered from the simplicity of the gospel can find the road to recovery.

Like poor driving, legalism is the ‘other guy’s’ problem—the idiot is always in the other car. Crosby delivers a powerful punch in this expose on legalism as he shows that is a problem for all of us. It is a silent killer and the author seeks to expose all of its treacherous tentacles. Legal and performance-based religion is the most prevalent, unrecognized, and deleterious malady affecting the individual believer and the Church universal.

In The Silent Killers of Faith: Overcoming Legalism and Performance-Based Religion, Crosby exposes the philosophical and practical roots of legal, performance-based religion as well as its subtle influences. Readers will be equipped to not only recognize the problem but to avail themselves of appropriate remedies to free themselves from legalism’s infectious disease.
